The Struggles of Brown, Jones, and Robinson: First authorized edition in book form (Sadleir calls it a "secondary first"), unusually for Trollope preceded in book form by a pirated American edition published by Harper's in New York as early as 1862, following serialization in The Cornhill Magazine. Smith, Elder published this edition uniform with their long series of Illustrated Editions of Popular Works. As in some copies, the illustration to be placed at p. 148 is here inserted as the frontispiece facing the illustrated title. This copy is from the library of the English novelist Sir Hugh Walpole (1884-1941), author of a Trollope biography published in 1928, with his Brackenburn gilt-embossed dark red paper book label to front pastedown.
